What customers say
The Nouvolo Teddy75 keyboard earns high praise for its exceptional build quality and premium feel. Enthusiasts consistently highlight the substantial weight, flawless finish, and the charming aesthetic provided by the signature teddy bear weight.

Despite these hurdles, the consensus confirms the Teddy75 offers a top tier, highly satisfying typing experience for those willing to invest.
Know before you buy
The Teddy75 is a DIY kit, meaning it does not include switches or keycaps. You will need to purchase and install your own switches and keycaps to complete the build.
Yes, the PCB features hot-swappable sockets. This allows you to plug in any standard MX-style mechanical switch without the need for soldering tools.
The Teddy75 is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also supports QMK and VIA, allowing you to remap keys and customize layers regardless of your OS.
The gasket mount structure suspends the plate and PCB assembly using soft gaskets rather than rigid screw mounts. This provides a more flexible, cushioned typing feel and a more consistent sound profile across the board.
These components are modular, meaning you can swap them into the designated slots on the keyboard case to suit your workflow. They provide quick access to media controls and system information directly from your desk.
The Teddy75 is equipped with a 6000mAh battery, which is quite large for a 75% board. Actual battery life will vary significantly based on your RGB brightness settings and whether you are using Bluetooth or 2.4G wireless mode.
